bignastyid - great build, but if there are no plans to upgrade the cpu in the future, get an H81 motherboard for ~$50 and spend that money on getting a GTX 970 instead of an R9 290.

Connor B :

The build in that link is missing ram. The GTX 660 is not a good choice, the r9 270x is faster and costs about the same. Does he really need a blu ray burner? I chnged a couple things and added an OS.
